MFJ Enterprises a manufacturer of a broad range of products for the
amateur radio industry specializing in station accessories, antennas
and antenna tuner units and InnovAntennas Limited a designer and
builder of modern computer optimized directional antenna systems,
today announced a partnership which will increase the availability of
InnovAntennas smaller antennas in addition to providing a new and up
to date range of computer optimized directional antennas for Hy-Gain
and Cushcraft, two of the legacy brands of MFJ Enterprises.
Justin Johnson G0KSC, owner of InnovAntennas Limited (a member of the
International Ham Store Group) who is also a contributor to the ARRL
Antenna Book 2016 provided the following statement.
"This is really exciting news for both companies. InnovAntennas have
not been able to fully service the US market due to an inability to
meet global demand.
The MFJ facility in Starkville MS will be building some of the smaller
antennas we produce under the InnovAntennas label and I have already
visited the factory last year to established production methods using
MFJ/Hy-Gain and Cushcraft tooling."
Justin continued by saying "most of our popular models will be covered
by MFJ, including the LFA (Loop Fed Array) Yagi and OWL (Optimized
Wideband Low impedance).
Additionally, new computer optimized and yet unreleased HF and VHF
mono and multiband Yagis will be released through the Hy-Gain and
Cushcraft brands, neither of which have released new Yagis in quite
some time".
Justin Johnson G0KSC has become well-known for his innovative variants
of the common Yagi which boast direct 50? feed points and low-noise
patterns and feed arrangements. Dubbed the ‘urban antenna’ the LFA is
well suited to city lots where noise prevents the hobby being as
enjoyable as it once was. More recently, G0KSC has transitioned into
HF multiband and monoband designs where he has embraced the compact
‘trap-less’ concept with the InnovAntennas CP-6 being an excellent
example, providing 6 bands with a single feed in a package just 12’ by
28’.
It is expected that the first in this new line of antennas will be
available by the spring of 2017 on a direct and distributor supply
basis and it is advised that interest is placed with MFJ Enterprises
as soon as possible.
